TJ and Nik were money, Robin and Luke were solid... great games all around. We still had some painful turnovers late, but we can tighten that up. Making the FT's made up for that.

The Pilots rallied from a 45-37 halftime deficit as they raised their record to 3-0 before an announced crowd of 3,386.

Oregon, which got a career-high 21 points from sophomore guard Malcolm Armstead and 15 from Tajuan Porter, fell to 3-1. Porter scored 13 points in the first 13 minutes, and Oregon never trailed in the first half, leading by as many as 10 points.

Robin Smeulders added 17 points and T.J. Campbell 16 for the Pilots.

Oregon made 10 of 26 shots from 3-point range, with Porter going 3 for 10. The Pilots were 11 of 18 from beyond the arc, with their main long-distance shooter, Jared Stohl, sinking 3 of 6 in scoring nine points.

Portland outrebounded the Ducks 37-33. Raivio had eight boards. Joevan Catron and Teondre Williams led UO with six apiece.

Raivio hit 10 of 20 shots from the field as the Pilots fired at a 52.5-percent clip.

Saw BJ in the stands last night with some students and Watson..looks like he may be sitting out the rest of this semester. TJ and LUKE SIKMA are holding down the athleticism role, but it'd be nice to have one more athlete making opposing defenses protect the win. Hope all is well with Porter's family, I'm sure he's hurting not being able to help out the team. Great win though, time to take down Ukla!!!!
